A "Shark Tank" inspired event for nonprofits to vie for funding for a unique program.

WHY “THE TANK”? There are many amazing nonprofits doing incredible work in our community, now is the time for our community members to support these local programs. Six local nonprofits will pitch their unique program to ‘SHARKS’- community business leaders, lenders and investors. This event brings the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors of the community together.

Finalists will be present the day of the event. Each Finalist will host a booth where you can learn more about their organization. When purchasing your ticket to The TANK, you will have the option to allocate your money to a Presenting Nonprofit or Finalist - $10 from every ticket will go toward the Nonprofit of your choosing and another $10 will go into a pool.
